1.Broken Skin
Today at 15.45 hours
India conducted 3 underground nuclear tests
In the bogram range
Hope falls softly from your hands
Dreams burn deap beneath the land
Time casts shadows overall
Sweating fever, rain or river
Brushing winds beneath your call
Broken skin, distant fear
Shattered worlds of endless tears
Hidden fires, distant lies
Burried hopes beneath the cries
Broken skin, distant fears
Silent lips, so far, so near
Silence, it is every hope apart
Two flames burn deep beneath one heart
Teardrops flow faster with the tide
Raging over calmer waters
As the timeless land divides
Broken skin, distant fear
Shattered worlds of endless tears
Hidden fires, distant lies
Burried hopes beneath the cries
Broken skin, distant fears
Silent lips, so far, so near
Broken, distant, shattered
Hidden, distant, burried
Broken, distant, silent
Cold games repeat on eastern shores
Strong winds blow over colder wars
Proud lips stay silent in the rain
There are half a million voices in the song without a name
Broken, distant, shattered
Hidden, distant, burried
Broken, distant, silent
Shattered
Hidden, distant, burried
Broken, distant, silent
(so far so close)
Shattered
(there are half a million voices)
Distant
Shattered
Distant
Shattered
(there are half a million voices)
Just 5 miles from indias nuclear test site
Children play in the shade of the village water tank
Here in the rajahstan desert people say they're proud their
country showed their nuclear capability
2.Letting Go
Now i often talk of my heart
How can i turn to the dark
And the swaying silence
I see, there's nothing i can hold on to
You can't breathe if i hold you tight
You can't breathe if i hold you tight
Don't be afraid of letting go
Don't be afraid of letting go
Not of anything out of anyone
All alone here with my demons
Am i ready to move on
To a person or place
Alone away from here
And i miss you
And i loose you
And i found you
I choose to follow my heart
Don't be afraid of letting go
Don't be afraid of letting go
Not of anything out of anyone
Out of anything out of anyone
Don't be afraid of letting go x6

4.The Pilgrim
Woke up in the morning in a temple
Kinda lucky on my feet for it was central
So i walk across the village
Saw a group of kids pillage
And i thought to myself i might be mental
You see
Pilgrims in the town
All seem to hold a frown
Say all they wanna be is diggy down
You know speck thought he'd ask
But figured it's just a mask
Tthis guy's on something else that's profound
I'm not the stool or the fool or the leader here to rule
Not the lover or the fighter who came here to duel
But i thought i looked into, but i walked into
So i can understand all the rules, cool？
Life is like a puzzle not pieced yet
Might take a village ever long to see that
Don't break your ties with my pal compromise
And the kid you wanna be you can be that
Who's ever watched the world that's my motto
Don't ever wanna play the head honcho ？？ but huh
If you try to push i won't beat around the bush
Straight up you're getting dissed on the pronto.
Life is like a puzzle not pieced yet
Might take a village ever long to see that
Don't break your ties with my pal compromise
And the kid you wanna be you can be that
If i could, i'd solve the problems of the world that exist
If i could always chill, i would without resist
If you weren't so literal, brother you might get it
Pack my bags, tambourines, and jeans so don't sweat it
Life is like a puzzle not pieced yet
Might take a village ever long to see that
Don't break your ties with my pal compromise
And the kid you wanna be you can be that
Life is like a puzzle not pieced yet
Might take a village ever long to see that
Don't break your ties with my pal compromise
And the kid you wanna be you can be that
Life is like a puzzle not pieced yet.
As the journey continues i gain current instincts
I feel i know what they must be thinking, for instance
When they speak in riddles i'm left with the question
But won't stop arguments to kill attention
They all got a sixth sense to be one another
So pilgrims seek refuge undercover
Where it's fly like birds to live a lot is absurd
Try telling that to this kid named unver
Life is like a puzzle not pieced yet
Might take a village ever long to see that
Don't break your ties with my pal compromise
And the kid you wanna be you can be that
Life is like a puzzle not pieced yet
Might take a village ever long to see that
Don't break your ties with my pal compromise
And the kid you wanna be you can be that
I met him on tour a week on for twenty four
He was born in the village, but left in ninety four
Now he's still got probs he doesn't know how to solve
I said, 'unver, i've been there before'
In the light of understanding i forgot it
Sometimes the boat shakes when you rock it
I told him we are like family, a part of humanity
Don't overdo, and don't toss it.
Life is like a puzzle not pieced yet
Might take a village ever long to see that
Don't break your ties with my pal compromise
And the kid you wanna be you can be that
Life is like a puzzle not pieced yet
Might take a village ever long to see that
Don't break your ties with my pal compromise
And the kid you wanna be you can be that
He dug and moved on with his life
'cause he digs it gets real dark at night
Don't want a collar that's blue or a reflection of you
Just wants us to get his plight
Myself i'd like the years just to take me away
It might leave a part of this world in dismay
But the village calls the pilgrim ？in negroes？
After all i'm just one needle in the hay
Now what i'm speaking in is symbolics
But you can call it what you want to call it
See all that i do is throw words, and i hope that you caught it
Only got one arrow but i aim for two targets
Life is like a puzzle not pieced yet
Might take a village ever long to see that
Don't break your ties with my pal compromise
And the kid you wanna be you can be that
Life is like a puzzle not pieced yet
Might take a village ever long to see that
Don't break your ties with my pal compromise
And the kid you wanna be you can be that
You can be that, you can be that
5.Tides
France has carried out the first of a planned series of
underground nuclear tests
At modoroah isle in the south pacific
The french defence ministry said the magnitude of the explosion
Was aproximately the same as the bomb dropped on hiroshima
6.Nadia
7.Immigrant
Also heavily advertised in local newspapers and daily's
That they are encouraging for people to come down and work
And then we went to the embassy and they showed us
Kew garden pictures and pictures of the various parts of england
That it is all that beautiful and everything is just right
And that's why we just applied for the voucher.
You burn my flame within your hands
You know when my destiny falls
This time has insecurity
I feel, makes me restless inside
Will you take me there
To a distant place i've never been before
I could leave this world
I could follow you like oceans to the shore
You could take me there
Make the rivers of my mind flow to my dreams
You hold your secrets from my eyes
You see where the furthest rain falls
The day breaks over in the streams
You know where my rivers will flow
Will you take me there
To a distant place i've never been before
I could leave this world
I could follow you like oceans to the shore
You could take me there
Make the rivers of my mind flow to my dreams
And i dream of places far from here
And i call your name to the wind
And i wish the night would take me to another world
Where no one knows a face or has a name
Will you take me there
To a distant place i've never been before
I could leave this world
I could follow you like oceans to the shore
You could take me there
Make the rivers of my mind flow to my dreams
Make the rivers flow
Will you take me there
Will you take me there
Oh yeah
Take me there
Take me there
Take me there, yeah
Take me there, yeah yeah
Take me there
Will you take
Will you take
Me there
Take me there
Take me there
Take me there, yeah
Take me there, yeah yeah
Take me there
Take me there
Take me there, yeah
Take me there, yeah yeah
Make the rivers flow x7
8.Serpents
9.Anthem Without A Nation
....
Villages say they're already suffering side effects
The government, scientists say there was no radiation leak.
10.Nostalgia
....
One day perhaps we will come back to this country and bring our
children to show them you know
And what we had to sacrifice to be in that country you know.
But i think in the initial state that we had a lot of struggle
But with god's grace and his kindness we are okay now and our
children are okay as well
Dreams, dreams, dreams, dreams
I can feel your dreams, dreams
I can see you
I can touch your memories
But i can't hear you
I can feel your dreams, dreams
I can see you
I can touch your memories
But i can't hear you
Words that fall like ？？？
Worlds that echo in your eyes
I can't taste
I can't feel
I can't reach across a thousand years
I can almost touch the soil beneath your whisper
I can almost feel the hopes you left behind
I can almost touch the soil beneath your whisper
I can almost feel the hopes you left behind
Words that fall like tears from trees
Worlds that echo in your eyes
I can't taste
I can't feel
Thousand years
I can't hear you
I can't see you
I can't taste
I can't feel
Thousand years
I can't taste
I can't feel
Thousand years
I can't taste
I can't feel
I can't reach across a thousand years
I can't taste
I can't feel
I can't reach across a thousand years
I can't taste
I can't feel
Thousand years
11.The Conference
12.Beyond Skin
On july 29th at 5：29 am
The gadget turned the pre-dawned sky as bright as the sun
As the first atomic mushroom cloud rose above the horizon.
We knew the world would not be the same...
A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were
silent.
I remembered the lines from the hindu scripture, the bhagavad
gita
Vishnu was trying to persuade the prince that he should do his
duty
And to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says,
'now i am become death, the destroyer of worlds.'
I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.
A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were
